dc.description.abstractThe paper seeks to promo te safety standard and consciousness among workers on construction sites, by examining the implementation of Workmen Compensation Act, the relationship between the number of accidents, the amal/nt spent on accident victims including compensations and the amount spent on preventive measures. The study revealed that the Act is not strictly applied in most construction sites and there is very strong relationship between the amount spent on accident victims and the amount spent on preventive measures. The correlation analysis between the total number of accidents and the amount spent on accident victims using Neyman Pearson Product Moment Method (PPMM) shows a very strong relationship r =0.93). Considering the contribution of the construction industry ta the National Economy, the paper recommended that legislation in respect of Workman's Compensation be put in place and adequately obeyed in construction lndustry. More money should also be spent on accident preventive measures.en_US
